Day One

Travel from Anchorage to Denali aboard the Alaska Railroad’s adventure-class cars! Ride the Denali Star Rail passing by unique towns like Wasilla, Talkeetna, and the once-stopover rail town of Curry where weary travelers came to rest on the trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Enjoy the dramatic views of Denali on a clear day from Hurricane Gulch – keep your camera out because if Denali is visible along the route, it is a beautiful sight to see! Your overnight stay at the Grande Denali Lodge perched on Sugarloaf Mountain provides beautiful views of the canyon below.

Day Two

Today is your adventure into Denali National Park. Tour buses feature a trained naturalist who both drives the bus and narrates during the trip. Tour bus trips begin and end at various locations around the entrance of the park. All tours are conducted by certified driver-naturalists who will provide a guided, informative trip into the park. Tour buses are tan-colored buses.

In an effort to preserve the fragile ecosystem of Denali National Park and Preserve, the National Park Service has limited access on the Park Road for private vehicles. These bus tours give you the opportunity for wildlife spotting – and also allows you the chance to sit back, relax, and listen to your Certified Interpretive Guide share their stories about the history, culture, and geography that surrounds you.

The Tundra Wilderness Tour is the premier tour of Denali National Park and Preserve! This tour will travel 43 miles to East Fork River and offers wonderful diversity for visitors. Incredible scenery, a narrated history of the park road, and some of the best opportunities to view the park’s wildlife inhabitants await you on this tour.

Day Three

This morning take the hotel shuttle to the Denali Rail Depot for check-in aboard Adventure Class on the Denali Star Rail. Consider upgrading to Gold Star Service for your return trip back into Anchorage! Gold Star Service includes lunch and dinner in the Gold Star dining car, complimentary non-alcoholic beverages, treeline viewing in glass dome-topped cars, dining car priority seating, as well as an open-air, top-level viewing platform for epic photos along your journey!

Upgrades Available:
*GoldStar Service aboard the Alaska Railroad -glass dome car seating, meals in the GoldStar dining, and open-air viewing platform
*ADD a Scenic Flight Tour at the park entrance during your free time!

Salmon Berry Travel & Tours recommends travel insurance provided by TravelSafe Insurance. Our recommendation is based on positive guest feedback. In particular, the experience of one Salmon Berry guest is instructive:

Our guest had booked the vacation of a lifetime and the ultimate Alaska package. She had to cancel the trip a week before it began due to unfortunate circumstances.
She later told us that within ten minutes of phone time her claim was processed in full. She was very pleased with TravelSafe Insurance’s immediate and empathetic response. Getting a refund for her trip was the last thing she wanted to think about, and TravelSafe Insurance took care of her needs and concerns immediately.
